Albany Wine Bar owner starting gastropub

ALBANY — Kevin Everleth (right), owner of the Wine Bar and Bistro, plans to open a casual gastropub on New Scotland Avenue, with a menu being developed by his executive chef, Jason Baker. It will be called the Capital City Gastropub.

The site currently is Pasquale’s, which will remain open for now. Everleth is buying the business from Vitore Gelaj and will lease the building, which currently seats about 45.

The wine list will be smaller than the Wine Bar’s expansive offerings, focusing on perhaps 30 bottles, mostly lower-priced. Everleth hopes to feature 10 microbrews on draft and up to another 20 in bottles.
